I am no coward, but what to make of this headpeddling purple rascal 1 altogether passed my comprehension.  我虽然不是个胆小鬼,但我怎么也弄不明白这个贩人头的紫色的家伙到底是怎么一回事。
Ignorance is the parent of fear, and being completely nonplussed 2 and confounded about the stranger,  无知是恐惧之母,我已经给这个陌生人弄得完全惊惶失措了,

Meanwhile, he continued the business of undressing, and at last showed his chest and arms.  这时,他继续在脱衣服,最后,他的胸膛和胳膊都露出来了。
As I live, these covered parts of him were checkered 4 with the same squares as his face, his back, too, was all over the same dark squares; 千真万确,他身上那些本来遮掩着的地方,也跟他脸上一样,布满许多方块块;背脊也是一样;
he seemed to have been in a Thirty Years' War, and just escaped from it with a sticking-plaster shirt.  他好象参加了三十年战争,弄得满身疮痍地逃了回来。
Still more, his very legs were marked, as if a parcel of dark green frogs were running up the trunks of young palms.  不但如此,他那两条腿上也是斑斑驳驳的,仿佛是一群墨绿色虾蟆爬在小棕榈树身上。
